1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract

To assess the effect of a savings-led economic empowerment intervention on viral suppression among adolescents living with HIV. Using data from Suubi + Adherence, a longitudinal, cluster randomized trial in southern Uganda (2012-2017), we examine the effect of the intervention on HIV RNA viral load, dichotomized between undetectable (< 40 copies/ml) and detectable (≥ 40 copies/ml). Cluster-adjusted comparisons of means and proportions were used to descriptively analyze changes in viral load between study arms while multi-level modelling was used to estimate treatment efficacy after adjusting for fixed and random effects. At 24-months post intervention initiation, the proportion of virally suppressed participants in the intervention cohort increased tenfold (Δ
